Fred and family,
My deepest condolences on the loss of Lara. It can never be doubted that Lara was the kindest, most cheerful and always smiling and by far Lara was the best mother and friend in our neighbourhood. May the coming days be gentle for all of you at this most difficult time and that your memories keep you comforted.

There are simply no words that can take away the pain of losing a Mother, a wife, a sibling, a daughter, a friend....Lara was a warm, kind, genuine spirit who always welcomed you with a smile. May her memory be eternal and continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who had the honour of meeting and spending time with her. My heartfelt condolences to her family.

I worked with Lara at MAC many years ago and she had so much energy. She reminded me of a hummingbird! She was such a bright light, very kind, and quick with a laugh. I saw her recently and remininisced a bit with her. My sincerest condolences to her family. She will be greatly missed.

I have worked with Lara since 1997, when I started at MAC. She was always sweet, always looking to catch up and always with a smile on her face. As I moved into different roles, in different buildings and even after I moved to NY, she made a point to touch base and say hello. I know she was exceedingly proud of her girls throughout the years! Sending my condolences, thoughts and prayers to Lara’s family.

Lara was one of the kindest, sweetest women I know. She had a wonderful way with people. I remember the 5k that I ran with her for breast cancer on Barrie lakeshore. We shared many laughs and lovely ladies nights with the Wyman tribe. I remember countless Thursday nights watching greys anatomy over a glass of wine when the kids were young. It was our night to share stories and laugh and cry.
Lara I know you are looking over your amazing girls. You were the best mama bear to them.
Rest easy Lara.
Love always Ralf and Michelle Zimmer

In life, we hope we leave this earth making a difference, one of the biggest differences to make is being a great parent. If one is able to do this, this carries on for generations, Lara Fess was able to do this. It is clear from her daughters, and those who watched her, that her most important role in life was being a mother. She was gracious and kind to all, but she instilled in her girls that they were valued and loved and she saw their gifts. She knew how to love, she knew what mattered on earth and she will be your guide in the future. Your journey in life for all of you (Fred, Jaden, Jess, Lil, Des, Troy, and all extended family) this will be different than you thought but look for the courage she showed in life and she will be beside you in spirit.
